Ukraine War’s Grim Toll: Children Dying Amidst Escalating Violence
The organization Save the Children reports that June 2026 has seen the greatest number of child casualties since the early months of the full-scale war, with 123 children killed or injured according to UN data. This alarming trend is exacerbated by increasingly powerful missiles that now destroy entire sections of apartment buildings, leaving no place safe for children, not even in their homes or underground shelters. Save the Children emphasizes the urgent need for global action to protect these children and end these grave violations.
